Week 17: Las Vegas Raiders First Injury Report

The Las Vegas Raiders first injury report ahead of their game against against the San Francisco 49ers (11-4) was released on Wednesday, bringing a dilemma to a team which has dealt with injuries all season long.

The Silver and Black (6-9) started the week by placing defensive end Chandler Jones (elbow) and linebacker Denzel Perryman (shoulder) on injured reserve from injuries they sutained on Christmas Eve.

“We put Denzel [Perryman] and Chandler [Jones] on IR, so they'll be out the remaining couple weeks this season,” Raiders Coach Josh McDaniels said.

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, who was the lone non-participant on Wednesday’s report, was excused from practice (NIR) for personal reasons, after confirming he will be benched for the rest of the season.

The Raiders did receive great news when tackle Jackson Barton (back), running back Zamir White (ankle) and cornerback Rock Ya-Sin (knee) all returned to practice in limited roles.

Barton and White were inactive for last week’s game, while Ya-Sin has returned to practice for the first time since being sidelined since Week 13.

Guard Alex Bars (knee) and cornerback Nate Hobbs (quad) were both full participants on the report.

As for the 49ers, they had a long list of 13 players on the injury report.

Quarterback Brock Purdy (oblique/rib) was listed on the report as the only full participant.

Defensive linemen Arik Armstead (foot/ankle) and Kerry Hyder (ankle), along with cornerback Ambry Thomas (ankle) and running backs Jordan Mason (hamstring) and Christian McCaffrey (knee) were all limited in practice.

Defensive lineman Nick Bosa (illness), quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (foot), punter Mitch Wishnowsky (illness), defensive lineman Kevin Givens (knee), tackle Trent Williams (NIR-rest), defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) and wide receiver Deebo Samuel (ankle/knee) were all listed as non-participants on the first day of practice.
